Hi everybody,
Sorry to choose the above title, but I have observed that most of the time HR officers will be busy chatting, sending fabulous, funny emails, etc. This has been observed by me in our company. In my four years of experience in this company, I have seen almost three officers (Region 1 HR Officer) busy chatting all the time. So, this is the doubt I have in my mind - is it really true that the same things happen in all organizations? To correct my title, it is not all, but some specific people.
Thank you and bye! 😊

Hi
What you wrote is absolutely right according to me. I have seen many HR personnel in my career in small, medium and big size industries (Including overseas). But most of the time HR guys are not punctual and always walking across the organization doing nothing, but it looks like they are very busy with doing some high priority work. Most of the mails, what we receive from HR department is useless, I don’t know why? It is not only the opinion of me, but most of the people having the same opinion in the organization. One more thing what I want to highlight is, most of the HR personnel behave arrogant with the candidates who came for interview.
Pl. don't consider the above message in a pessimistic manner.

Hi,
What you think is absolutely wrong, according to me. HR people are not technical to perform as other employees. They will send funny emails only to entertain and reduce stress levels. They will roam around the office to ensure your comfort levels and observe you. As for chatting, I suppose they will be discussing employee welfare.

Hi dear,
Sorry to comment on your topic which you have chosen here for discussion. Firstly, the organization in which you are working doesn't have proper systems. Secondly, your org doesn't have HR policies, vision, or anything that means it is lacking in any way. Thirdly, you know there are a number of tasks that HR personnel have to do. Please visit any manufacturing unit where you will find a proper answer to your query. Some of them include salary, training, welfare, appraisals, surveys, maintaining a harmonious working environment, involving in negotiations, maintaining PR with outside bodies such as courts, legal works, always looking for something creative, reducing turnovers, reducing accidents, and more.
I think it's enough. One more thing, no one works all the time; generally, only 30% of people work 100% against their salary. Thanks, please don't mind. Have a great day.

I don't agree with all of this. People think that since HR professionals are not technical, they only engage in trivial activities. However, in my experience from two different jobs, I have not found this to be true. HR professionals are responsible for a significant aspect of their company, which is employer branding. They represent the softer side of the company and are not always assertive when communicating with employees. Due to this, people often perceive them as simply passing time.
If you are not part of the HR team, I encourage you to spend a month with the HR department to witness the reality firsthand.

Hi All,
The objective of the above said message is not to pinpoint a person or a department. The message is conveyed here to the people who behave in that manner.
Few of my friends here are talking about bigger organizations and manufacturing units, but I have worked in both manufacturing and IT companies where the employee strength ranges from 800 to 2000 and above.
When it comes to the working environment, the organization where I work is recognized in India and also abroad.
I have audited more than 50 organizations in my career, including HR departments in India and abroad. The majority of the organizations' HR departments behave in the way which I explained above. In fact, I have discussed this topic with a few HR directors and HR managers, and to a certain extent, they also agree.
I am not saying that all companies or HR personnel are that way; I have also come across some very good HR professionals.
If we consider this as a very interesting topic and are unsure about the above said message, we can conduct an opinion survey to know the results.

I am sorry to comment on your response, Satya, but from your message, I feel you might have come across a few irresponsible HR professionals who just want to pass the time or have misbehaved with co-workers. I agree with Sujay that for HR people roaming around the office and having conversations with other employees is a part of their job, which enables them to have good communication with others and to find out if they have any problems and if they can help them in any way. If they stick to their seat and do not mingle with others, just like software professionals, they cannot find out what is going on around their office and due to that, they cannot plan any improvements that can be made.

Dear Friends,
When the question of survey has been brought up, I would like to mention my experience in one organization. There, the HR manager used to go around, talk to everyone, pass some light comments, and tasks to create a comfortable environment. When the same manager was replaced by a HR professional who was very restricted and reserved in his behavior, employees felt disconnected from their HR.
It's not that the previous manager had no work; rather, there was high pressure due to numerous recruitments and appraisals as the unit was ramping up. The second manager stepped in during a more comfortable stage.
This scenario is self-explanatory, I believe. HR professionals need to have a knack for bringing fun and joy into the workplace. It's important to understand that work is crucial, and no one overlooks it. We should all realize that if HR was not functioning effectively, how could the company manage to achieve results that required HR actions? Everyone receives a salary, appraisals, jobs, and benefits. Friends, is HR a thankless job? Your comments, please.

Hi,
I strongly object to the question raised by Shavalad. How can Shavalad make such a generalized statement ("Why are all HR professionals busy chatting (Is it True?)")? It is not acceptable.
Also, I strongly object to the statements made by Sathya...
I request all the members not to make any generalized objectionable statements in the forum.
Thank you all in advance.
